I’ve had a similar experience with Notion. “Jack of all trades and master of none” resonates strongly with me.

This lead me to my latest startup https://froosthq.com/ which is Notion inspired and aimed solely at software teams.

Funnily enough originaly the saying was "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." Seems like it got pretty skewed over time.

Specialization is for insects.

And also what allowed civilisation to exist.

I really like the jetbrains solution to this problem. https://www.jetbrains.com/space/

Does this product "exist" yet or is it vaporware we're putting our email addresses in for? Page seems very light on info or even pricing.

The product exists indeed and it’s very stable. Been out there for years.

Froost or Notion? Froost's homepage says "subscribe for early access".

Yeah. I googled Froost out of curiosity and I was spot on, the project barely has anything but a landing page and a post on Indie Hackers about said landing page launching a few days ago.

I would rephrase "all in one tool" to more specific like "project management tool". All in one for software teams makes me think that you also offer things like version control etc. All-in-one is a very loaded phrase. Just my 2 cents.

Hey, just noticed a small mistake, or it was just unclear from my side. Looks like the "pricing" link links to "learn" in the url, while there being nothing about pricing in the page itself.

Imo github is eventually going to subsume all of this activity. People don’t want to go to more than one place.

If Microsoft could have subsumed "all of this activity", it would have by now. This all goes in cycles and there's always room for disruption.

I think Microsoft is taking leaps and bounds to make up for the errors of yore. I wouldn't underestimate them at this point.

That looks pretty nice. I've put my email in your signup as this is something that I've built half of about 5 times now.

What are the five apps called?

Not OP, but if they were only half built (and presumably therefore not released), what use is knowing the working titles?

Love the landing page. Can I ask what tools/frameworks you used or just straight up tailwind and desgin skills?

Straight up Tailwind

thanks.. the SVG squares are a nice touch

Tailwindui! Did you use it for the app aswell? Would love to see what the app UI looks like for this

Yes sir. Everything is Tailwind.

wanted to add my email but the console reports "mailchimp ajax submit error: error"

Thanks for letting me know, will take a look now. If you want to drop me an email “josh@ the website above” then I’ll add you to the list.

Looks great, signed up!
